How do i change the language for spellchecking in Libreoffice Calc

I have to create a table with LibeOffice Calc in another language than my native one.

If I run the spellchecking, I manually have to change the language for every word in the document. How do I change it for the whole document at once?

I tried to select the desired language in the Extra/Auto Correction Options menu, which had no effect.

v7.3.7.2
Menu: Tools/Spelling->Button:Options->GetMoreDictionariesOnline
Make it sure your internet is working fast or it may look like there is none.
Type the begin of your desired language and wait.

That is the base for auto-spellchecking to work with the desired language. You have to put the whole document in that language too probably but I didnt try using another.

According to LibreOffice Help and a quick check on an existing Calc document.

Choose Tools - Options. Go to Language Settings - Languages.

Under Default languages for documents, select the document language for all newly created documents. If you mark For the current document only, your choice will only apply to the current document. Close the dialog with OK.
